The opposite of multiculturalism is assimilation with the goal of monoculturalism, or the notion that if you come to Ireland you are expected to adopt Irish customs and kinda abandon your own.For instance. If you go live in a country where the drinking of alcohol is prohibited you are expected to not drink alcohol.

The entire south-east quadrant of Dublin has scarcely been touched by the high volume of immigration throughout the last two decades. To say that this area is not multicultural, is an understatement to state the least. It's very easy to advocate for something when you know that you will never be affected by the negative outcomes. The endless stream of trite anecdotes trotted out in favour of multiculturalism, do not negate the fact that this flawed policy is having, a not always positive impact, in working class communities.

If you add on how much more they're paying out in rent allowance , children's allowance etc it must run well over a half a billion a year . I hope this great multicultural society that the lefties waffle on about , is worth the money the taxpayer is spending.

One way or another, everything you've said - and we can only go by what you said - suggests straightforwardly that your friend is an economic migrant, ie So your objection to people saying that is what, exactly ? But really, all you have is just more of 'all the lovely grub and friendliness' BS mindset. Thankfully, Benetton don't do passports. Yet.

People on here harp on about how so many of these people are blagging their way into the country as economic migrants. I live between 2 countries. I've befriended Sarmand, from Afghanistan, in the Netherlands. Sarmand has a PhD in Chemical Engineering. He dunks chips into a deep fat fryer and carves slabs of lamb off the rotating "elephant's leg" in the shoarma joint because he can't get his Engineering accreditation recognised in Holland. y.
